What is an R-Value?

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Stratco Cooldek
Stratco Cooldek is an innovative insulated roofing system that combines roofing, insulation, and a beautiful ceiling all in one product. It features a rigid foam core sandwiched between two layers of Colorbond steel, providing excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
Cooldek is available in five insulation thicknesses: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm, and 150mm. The thicker the insulation, the better the thermal performance (R-value), allowing you to choose the right level for your climate and needs.
Cooldek's exceptional strength allows it to span up to an impressive 9 meters unsupported, depending on the insulation thickness and engineering requirements. This creates an uncluttered appearance with uninterrupted views.
Cooldek is available in two profile styles: Classic Panel (with a smooth, contemporary finish) and CGI Panel (with a traditional corrugated appearance). Both profiles are available in all five insulation thicknesses.
Yes! Cooldek can be fitted with integrated LED downlights that are seamlessly installed into the insulated panels. These weather-sealed downlights provide excellent illumination for your outdoor space.
Cooldek's insulation significantly reduces heat transfer from above on hot days, keeping your outdoor area cooler. It also reduces noise from heavy rain and provides year-round comfort. R-values range from 1.41 (50mm) to 4.24 (150mm).
